Hindi Introduction
क्या आपको सारा पैसा आज लगा देना चाहिए या धीरे-धीरे (DCA/SIP)? यह कैलकुलेटर दोनों रणनीतियों के गणितीय परिणाम दिखाता है ताकि आप सही निर्णय ले सकें।
DCA vs Lumpsum Explained
Lumpsum investing puts all your money to work immediately, maximizing time in the market. DCA (SIP) spreads the risk by buying at different price levels, averaging out your cost per unit.
Example: ₹50L Investment Strategy
If you invest ₹50L in a market that rises 10%:
• Lumpsum: Your entire ₹50L grows by 10% immediately.
• DCA: Only the deployed portion grows. Lumpsum typically wins in steady uptrends, while DCA provides a safety net during volatility.
Result: Your final wealth of ₹44,986 is achieved through {STRATEGY} discipline.
Lumpsum: Maximizes upside
DCA: Minimizes downside
Projected Value: ₹44,986
